Both phones notch wins in different areas, but the deciding factor is pricing in your market.

For as solid and consistent as the flagship space has become, there’s still plenty of competition and innovation happening at the lower price points. Ranging between $ 250 and $ 350, there are lots of good options out there to get a great phone without breaking the bank. Two of the big names in this segment are the Nokia 6.1 and [Read More…]

It’s not surprising that data was ‘shared,’ but it’s surprising that people didn’t realize what was going on.

Fresh Facebook news broke on Tuesday that the company has built decade-long partnerships with a handful of phone makers and other technology companies to more deeply integrate Facebook services and data into phones and websites. The deals offered phone makers the opportunity to integrate Facebook services directly into the contacts, dialer and launcher apps, among others — and of [Read More…]

The social network also outlined 9 ways it’ll keep data more secure in the future.

It’s no secret that Facebook really let “you know what” hit the fan over the last couple weeks. The company’s been under fire for sharing millions of its users’ data with research firm Cambridge Analytica, and according to a post on the Facebook Newsroom, the number of people that were affected is bigger than originally reported.

It’s no secret that Instagram is the biggest social network for sharing pictures and videos of whatever’s going on in your life, but for the last couple years, it’s been a hot mess for a lot of users. Instagram made a change to its algorithm in 2016, and rather than showing you posts in the order they were shared, users began seeing photos/videos that Instagram determined you’d like to see.

Google Photos is making it much easier to tease your friends and loved ones over that latest embarrassing picture in your shared album. Thanks to the latest update to Google’s premiere photo app, people using a shared album can now leave comments on both the photos contained within and the album itself.

Aside from that social boost, Google Photos has also added smart suggestions to shared albums. Says Google:

Google is on a roll this week. Offline navigation is now available for Google Maps, family plans for Google Play Music are here for just $ 14.99, searching within Google Drive just got simpler, and now Google Photos just announced Shared Albums – a fast and simple way to pool your photos and videos that makes it easier to bring everyone’s memories together.

I think Google secretly worked through the Thanksgiving holiday to bring us these updates before Christmas.

Google has announced that it is starting to roll out shared albums to Google Photos, making it even easier to share your favorite memories with others.
